Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are staples available at supermarkets like Massy Stores or Cost-U-Less. For flour, choose a high-protein option for better structure. If you cannot find specific Brazilian-style items, use full-cream powdered milk and high-quality olive oil as the best options.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
- In a small container, dissolve the dry yeast in a splash of warm water, ensuring it is not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Allow the yeast mixture to sit and bloom for a few minutes.
- Incorporate the yeast mixture into the large bowl containing the liquid ingredients.
- Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a heavy spoon.
- Continue adding the flour until the dough pulls away cleanly from your hands and reaches a uniform consistency.
- Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a plastic bag, seal it tightly, and let it rest in a warm area for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
- Once rested, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions sized for 7 individual pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a smooth ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Roll out each ball into a pizza disc and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the crust is golden and crispy.
